项目摘要

Abstract Laparoscopic surgery is the standard of care in high-income countries (HICs) for many cancer operations in the chest and abdomen. Laparoscopic surgery avoids large incisions by using a tiny camera and fine instruments manipulated through keyhole incisions, but it is generally unavailable in low- and middle- incomes countries (LMICs) due to high cost of installment, lack of qualified maintenance personnel, unreliable electricity and shortage of consumable items. Patients in LMICs would benefit from laparoscopic surgery, as advantages include: decreased pain, improved recovery time, fewer wound infections, and shorter hospital stays. Laparoscopic surgery would reduce recovery time, enabling patients to return to home and work more quickly, thereby mitigating impoverishing health expenditure. Laparoscopic technology can be developed that is low-cost, durable, and does not require a constant supply of consumable items or electricity. This would enable laparoscopic surgery to be performed in rural hospitals, where the majority of patients live. We describe a multi-disciplinary collaboration between surgeons and engineers in the U.S. and Uganda to develop a laparoscopic system for use in LMICs. The laparoscopic system will be designed for a cost of goods < $200. Rather than using the current design of fiber optic cables, our prototype has been constructed with low-cost light emitting diodes (LEDs) and a color complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) detector that has been moved to the front of the device. This allows for a maintenance-free and low-cost laparoscope. Images can be displayed on a laptop computer, obviating the need for expensive monitors and cables and preventing loss of function during power-outages. The laparoscopic system also includes a prototype retractor for lift-laparoscopy, which obviates the need for a constant power supply and medical-grade carbon dioxide availability. In the proposed research, the current prototypes will be modified according to feedback from LMIC and HIC surgeons. Safety parameters of the device will be tested in an in vivo porcine model. Clinical data on current laparoscopic cases in Uganda will be collected to assess baseline rates of post-operative complications and difficulties with laparoscopic equipment, which will inform the design of a future clinical study to test the laparoscopic system in a clinical environment.

抽象的腹腔镜手术是高收入国家 (HIC) 中许多癌症手术的标准护理方法胸部和腹部。腹腔镜手术通过使用微型相机和精细技术避免了大切口通过锁孔切口进行操作的器械，但在低中和中等水平的人中通常不可用收入国家（LMIC）由于安装成本高、缺乏合格的维护人员、电力不稳定和消耗品短缺。中低收入国家的患者将受益于腹腔镜手术的优点包括：减少疼痛、缩短恢复时间、减少伤口感染、以及更短的住院时间。腹腔镜手术将缩短康复时间，使患者能够恢复健康更快地回家和工作，从而减轻贫困的医疗支出。腹腔镜技术可以开发成低成本、耐用且不需要恒定的消耗品或电力的供应。这将使腹腔镜手术能够在农村进行医院，大多数患者居住的地方。我们描述了外科医生之间的多学科合作以及美国和乌干达的工程师开发一种用于中低收入国家的腹腔镜系统。腹腔镜系统的设计目标是商品成本< 200 美元。而不是使用当前的光缆设计，我们的原型采用低成本发光二极管 (LED) 和互补色构建金属氧化物半导体 (CMOS) 探测器已移至设备正面。这允许免维护且低成本的腹腔镜。图像可以在笔记本电脑上显示，从而避免了需要昂贵的显示器和电缆，并防止断电期间功能丧失。这腹腔镜系统还包括用于提升腹腔镜检查的原型牵开器，从而无需使用恒定的电力供应和医疗级二氧化碳的可用性。在拟议的研究中，当前的原型将根据 LMIC 和 HIC 的反馈进行修改外科医生。该装置的安全参数将在猪体内模型中进行测试。目前的临床数据将收集乌干达的腹腔镜病例以评估术后并发症的基线率和腹腔镜设备的困难，这将为未来临床研究的设计提供信息，以测试临床环境中的腹腔镜系统。
